"The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed..." Matthew 13:31

Our 2nd and 7th graders have been learning about what it means to have faith the size of a mustard seed.

To demonstrate our Virtue of the Month: Faith, these prayer partners teamed up to bring this Scripture to life. The students created a beautiful mustard tree, and filled its branches with handmade birds to show how God's love gives shelter and comfort to us all.

🐾 PLAYGROUND SURPRISE & A HAPPY REUNION! 🐾

We had an unexpected visitor join our aftercare program last week!

A sweet pup wandered onto the playground, but thanks to the quick thinking of our Aftercare Director, Ms. Teri, and our amazing staff, the dog was kept safe and happy.

A huge THANK YOU to the South Portland (Maine) Police Department for their fast response and help tracking down the family! Thanks to this incredible teamwork, this furry friend was quickly reunited with its owner! ❤️

Learning to Walk With Faith 👣✨

Today during Prayer Partners, our students talked about how trusting God is a big part of our faith. To practice what it means to trust someone, they did a fun activity with their prayer partners. With their eyes closed, they trusted their partners to lead them.

They discussed how trusting someone can feel scary because they cannot always see what will happen next.

However, just as they trusted their prayer partners, they must also have faith and trust in God, even when they cannot see what lies ahead.
